The plan to build a two-story home on the 14000 block of Saratoga Avenue received unanimous support from the Saratoga Planning Commission for the fourth time in 10 years.

The design review was first approved by the commission in July 2000, for a second time in September 2003, a third time in October 2006, and again last week.

The previous three approvals expired over time. A different applicant submitted each application.

The current property owner, Bloch Family Limited Partnership, was the lender and has received ownership of the property after it went into foreclosure, representative Craig Awbrey told the commission.

“The property is distressed, and the owner is attempting to sell the property and simply desires to complete the construction in as timely a manner as possible,” Awbrey said. He added that the company plans to finish the buildings as originally planned.

The plan calls for the construction of a two-story building with a basement, a detached three-car garage and a separate second dwelling unit, a report to the commission states.

The total floor area of all buildings is 4,507 square feet on a 21,500-square-foot lot. The height of the building will not exceed 22 feet, the report reads.

Since the residence is located along the city’s heritage lane, the heritage preservation commission had to approve the plan, which it did in 2003. The heritage commission also approved the modifications to the plans in 2006.

Further review of the project from the heritage commission was not needed, the report states.

The planning commission approved the design review at its Dec. 9 meeting with little discussion.

Commissioners expressed their desire to see the project completed.

“You are planning to finish it per the plans as I understand it … and being that this has been approved three times before, I’m pretty happy to see it get finished. I don’t have any problems with anything I saw in the plans,” commissioner David Reis said.

Commissioner Joyce Hlava added: “Can I just say that I’ll be thrilled to not have that construction continuing on Saratoga Avenue?”
